This Schedule refers to Clause 10. Note: In this Schedule, some scientific names appear in either italics or bold and italics. Bold italics are used to denote rare, endangered or dominant species. Environmentally sensitive vegetation units (that is, significant vegetation communities), for the purposes of this plan, consist of the following naturally occurring plant communities in the City of Blue Mountains Council area. These communities are based not only on the plant species composition, but also upon specific topographic and edaphic (soil) qualities that make vegetation habitats important. The structural formation of the plant communities follows the classification of Specht et al. (1974), cited in clause 8 (References) of this Schedule. Descriptions of the vegetation communities in this Schedule have, in part, been adapted from Keith and Benson (1988), Smith and Smith (1998) and Douglas (2001), also cited in clause 8. 1 Tall Closed-forest/Closed-forest/Low Closed-forest (Rainforest) (1A) Ceratopetalum apetalum-Doryphora sassafras Rainforest Ceratopetalum apetalum-Doryphora sassafras (Coachwood-Sassafras) Rainforest is found on sedimentary geology at upper and middle altitudes in the Blue Mountains. A variant, the ‘Montane Rainforest’ also occurs on more fertile soils on the slopes of the basalt-capped mountains in the far north of the City. The rainforest on basalt can be very similar both structurally and floristically to rainforest on sedimentary rock where there is significant influence from alluvium derived from the basalt up-slope. As the basalt influence decreases and the sedimentary rock becomes more prominent due to erosion, the structure and floristics blend into typical Sydney Sandstone Gallery Rainforest, which tends to be less diverse than rainforest on basalt, particularly in the understorey. These rainforest communities are replaced at lower altitudes by Backhousia myrtifolia-Ceratopetalum apetalum rainforest (described below). The upper and lower altitude communities intergrade in the Springwood area. Ceratopetalum apetalum-Doryphora sassafras rainforest occurs in sheltered, moist sites that are rarely, if ever, burnt. The dominant tree species is usually (Coachwood) and/or (Sassafras). Other trees that are common in some stands are (Mountain Cedar Wattle), (Lilly Pilly), (Black Wattle), (Native Mulberry) and (Possumwood). (Grey Myrtle) is usually absent, although sometimes a minor component of the community. The vegetation structure is usually a closed-forest or low closed-forest. There may be a layer of emergent eucalypts above the rainforest canopy in ecotonal or partly disturbed communities. Ferns, vines and epiphytes are usually prominent features of the community. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of or with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |Acacia elata |Acmena smithii |Asplenium | |___________________________________________________________________| |Asplenium |Blechnum ambiguum |Blechnum cartilagineum| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Centella asiatica |Cephalaralia |Ceratopetalum apetalum| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Cynoglossum |Dendrobium |Dicksonia antarctica | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Elaeocarpus |Elaeocarpus |Eucalyptus oreades | |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus piperita |Eucalyptus radiata |Fieldia australis | |___________________________________________________________________| |Geitonoplesium |Geranium homeanum |Gleichenia microphylla| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Hydrocotyle |Hymenanthera dentata |Hymenophyllum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Libertia pulchella |Lomandra montana | |___________________________________________________________________| |Lomatia myricoides |Microsorum |Microsorum scandens | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (1B) Backhousia myrtifolia-Ceratopetalum apetalum Rainforest Backhousia myrtifolia-Ceratopetalum apetalum (Myrtle-Coachwood) Rainforest refers to the community found on sedimentary geology at lower altitudes in the Blue Mountains. It is replaced at middle and upper altitudes by Ceratopetalum apetalum-Doryphora sassafras Rainforest. The two communities intergrade in the Springwood area. Backhousia myrtifolia-Ceratopetalum apetalum Rainforest occurs on relatively fertile soils in sheltered, moist sites that are rarely, if ever, burnt. (Grey Myrtle) is the dominant or co-dominant tree with (Coachwood) or (Lilly Pilly) or both. Other trees that may be common are (Mountain Cedar Wattle), (Black Wattle) and (Turpentine). (Sassafras) is often present, but not as a dominant. The vegetation structure is usually a closed-forest or low closed-forest. There may be a layer of emergent eucalypts above the dense rainforest canopy in ecotonal or partly disturbed communities. Ferns, vines and epiphytes are usually prominent features of the community. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Backhousia myrtifolia and Ceratopetalum apetalum along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |Adiantum aethiopicum |Adiantum hispidulum |Allocasuarina | |___________________________________________________________________| |Allocasuarina |Asplenium |Astrotricha latifolia | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Callicoma |Calochlaena dubia |Ceratopetalum apetalum| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Doodia aspera |Doryphora sassafras |Elaeocarpus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Morinda jasminoides |Notelaea longifolia |Ozothamnus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Schoenus |Smilax australis |Smilax glyciphylla | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (1C) Megalong Granite Dry Rainforest (Backhousia myrtifolia) Within the southern parts of the Blue Mountains in the Megalong Valley are a few small remnants of granite dry rainforest. These communities are generally confined to narrow strips occurring in south-facing rocky slopes and gullies that have survived clearing and where grazing by livestock is minimal. It is evident that the dry rainforest on the granite is strongly allied with that in the Kowmung Wilderness on the Lambie Group. The dominant species in this community is (Myrtle) that occurs as a tall closed-scrub or low closed-forest. Infrequent emergents are mainly (Forest Red Gum) or (Kurrajong). The small tree (Brush Muttonwood) may also occur and it is likely that the larger or more protected sites also support (Red Cedar). This community may grade into the Riparian Granite Slope Forest (see community (2O)). The understorey is dominated by ferns and scattered herbs. Species include the ferns var., var. and, the vines and, the herbs,, and, the grass and possibly. This community is generally characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Ajuga australis |Angophora floribunda |Aphanopetalum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Asplenium |Austrostipa pubescens |Backhousia myrtifolia | |___________________________________________________________________| |Blechnum | |Brachycome | |cartilagineum |Brachychiton populneus|angustifolia var. | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus punctata |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus viminalis | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Helichrysum |Hydrocotyle |Indigofera australis | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Plantago debilis |Plantago gaudichaudii |Plectranthus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Schoenus apogon |Senecio lautus subsp. |Senecio minimus | |___________________________________________________________________| |Sigesbeckia |Solanum cinereum |Stackhousia viminea | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| 2 Tall open-forest/open-forest (2A) Moist Basalt Cap Forest (Eucalyptus viminalis-E. blaxlandii- E. radiata subsp. radiata) The basalt caps of Mt. Wilson, Mt. Tomah, Mt. Bell, Mt. Banks, Mt. Caley and Mt. Hay have weathered to a fertile clay-loam soil. At high altitudes (800–1,000 metres), the summits and slopes of these areas support a tall open-forest variously dominated by (Ribbon Gum), (Brown Stringybark) and subsp. (Narrow- leaved Peppermint). Other canopy species that may be encountered include (Monkey Gum), (Blue Mountain Ash) and (Brown Barrel). The understorey of the Moist Basalt Cap Forest generally has scattered shrubs including,,,, and with occasional tree ferns,. The ground cover includes numerous herbs and ferns. The Moist Basalt Cap Forest community is generally characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus fastigata |Eucalyptus oreades | |__________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus radiata |Eucalyptus viminalis |Eustrephus latifolius | |__________________________________________________________________| |Geitonoplesium |Geranium homeanum |Geranium | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| (2B) Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest (Eucalyptus deanei- E. punctata- Syncarpia glomulifera) This community includes the Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest that is listed as an endangered ecological community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Eucalyptus deanei-E. punctata-Syncarpia glomulifera open to tall open-forest incorporates the vegetation communities found on deep, shale-rich soils on ridges and upper slopes. Within the City, such vegetation occurs only in the lower altitudes whereas it extends to the higher altitudes in the adjoining Hawkesbury City. Within the City, this community is characterised by (Mountain Blue Gum), which is dominant or co-dominant with E. punctata (Grey Gum) (Turpentine). The form of Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest that occurs within the City is distinguished from the closely related Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest by the presence of E. notabilis (Mountain Mahogany). Other tree species that may be present include (Sydney Red Gum), (Rough-barked Apple), (Sydney Peppermint) and (Grey Gum). E. piperita is associated with the edge of this community and a relatively low influence from the shale. The typical vegetation structure is tall open-forest, although this may vary depending on site conditions and history. It is generally a wet sclerophyll forest, with soft-leaved plants prominent in the understorey. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Eucalyptus deanei, E. punctata and Syncarpia glomulifera along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |Acianthus exsertus |Adiantum aethiopicum |Allocasuarina | |___________________________________________________________________| |Allocasuarina |Angophora costata |Angophora floribunda | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Callicoma |Calochlaena dubia |Cassytha pubescens | |___________________________________________________________________| |Ceratopetalum |Cissus antarctica |Clematis aristata | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Entolasia marginata |Entolasia stricta |Eucalyptus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Oplismenus aemulus |Oplismenus imbecillis |Ozothamnus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Polyscias |Pratia purpurascens |Pseuderanthemum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Schoenus |Smilax australis |Smilax glyciphylla | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (2C) Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest (Syncarpia glomulifera- Eucalyptus fibrosa-E. crebra) Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest listed as an endangered ecological community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Within the City, this community represents a drier and generally lower altitude variant of the Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest. The primary difference is the general absence of Eucalyptus deanei and E. notabilis and the usual dominance of (Turpentine), sometimes along with various ironbark species such as (Broad-leaved Ironbark), (Narrow-leaved Ironbark), and (Beyer’s Ironbark). The ironbarks can be absent or rare due to their extensive logging for fencing purposes. (Grey Gum), (Mountain Mahogany), (Grey Ironbark), (White Stringybark) and (Thin-leaved Stringybark) may also be present. The original distribution of this community and the boundary between it and the Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest is unclear due to extensive clearing or modification of these vegetation types. The two communities are closely related and may intergrade extensively. In addition, this community intergrades with Shale/Sandstone Complex Forest (described below). Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest occurs on ridgetop caps of Wianamatta Shale. It may extend onto deeper areas of Hawkesbury Shale within the so-called Mittagong Formation. Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest is characterised in the Blue Mountains by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Dichelachne rara |Dichondra repens |Echinopogon | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Oplismenus aemulus |Ozothamnus |Panicum simile | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (2D) Shale Sandstone Transition Forest (Syncarpia glomulifera- Eucalyptus punctata) Shale Sandstone Transition Forest is listed as an endangered ecological community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Within the City, Shale Sandstone Transition Forest is within the scope of, but not limited by the definition of Shale Sandstone Transition Forest in the Final Determination of the Scientific Committee to list the ecological community in Schedule 1 to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. This community is present primarily on ridgetops but may occur elsewhere on unmapped remnant shale caps or lenses or immediately downslope of shale caps where the soils have been enriched by colluvium. Within the City, it is restricted to the lower altitudes and transitions between or within the Wianamatta and Hawkesbury Group of sediments. Because it represents a transition from shale-based vegetation to that associated with sandstone environments, this community is inherently highly variable and difficult to define. Variations occur depending on the relative influence of the different geologies as well as due to differences in shelter and rainfall. Any vegetation that is associated with a transition from shale to sandstone is considered to be within the scope of this community, irrespective of the structure or floristics unless it can be shown to be part of another vegetation type described in this Schedule. The Shale Sandstone Transition Forest can have considerable affinities to Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest but generally has a greater influence from sandstone-oriented species and less influence from those more affiliated with shale soils. Tree species that can occur in this Complex include (Turpentine), (Grey Gum), (Red Mahogany), (Mountain Mahogany), (Narrow-leaved Ironbark), (Broad- leaved Ironbark), (Grey Ironbark), (Beyer's Ironbark), (White Stringybark), (Narrow-leaved Stringybark), (Thin-leaved Stringybark) and (Sydney Red Gum). The stringybarks E. eugenioides and E. sparsifolia are generally diagnostic of the more sandstone-influence form of this community. The understorey can be highly variable depending on the extent of shale influence and proximity to the Cumberland Plain. Fire history and the effects of other forms of disturbance can also significantly affect both the structure and floristics of the understorey. It can range from grassy and herbaceous to densely scrubby. In areas close to the Cumberland Plain, the understorey may include species more typical of that environment such as Melaleuca nodosa, M. erubescens and M. thymifolia, especially in areas with slightly impeded drainage. Shale Sandstone Transition Forest is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation.

Eucalyptus deanei-E. piperita Tall Open-forest refers to a vegetation community of mixed tree species composition, including (Sydney Peppermint), (Mountain Blue Gum), (Turpentine), (Sydney Red Gum), (Rough-barked Apple), (Grey Gum) and (Narrow-leaved Ironbark). Not all of these species occur in every stand, except for E. deanei, whose presence is characteristic of the community. The community is found in moist, sheltered sites on the talus slopes below the sandstone escarpments of the Jamison, Kedumba and Grose Valleys. It is replaced further west in the Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys by Eucalyptus cypellocarpa-E. piperita Tall Open-forest. The community also occurs in some moist, sheltered sites away from the escarpments. The typical vegetation structure is tall open-forest, although this may vary depending on site conditions and history. It is a wet sclerophyll forest, with soft-leaved plants prominent in the understorey. Eucalyptus deanei-E. piperita Tall Open-forest differs from E. deanei-E. punctata-Syncarpia glomulifera Tall Open-forest in that it occurs on different geology (Illawarra Coal Measures, Shoalhaven Group and Narrabeen Group) and E. deanei is less prominent. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Eucalyptus piperita and E. deanei along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Ceratopetalum |Clematis aristata |Cyathea australis | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Dichondra repens |Doodia aspera |Elaeocarpus | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Exocarpos |Gahnia sieberiana |Galium propinquum | |__________________________________________________________________| |Geitonoplesium |Gleichenia microphylla|Glycine clandestina | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Hydrocotyle |Indigofera australis |Leptospermum | |__________________________________________________________________| |Leucopogon |Lomandra longifolia |Lomandra montana | |__________________________________________________________________| |Melaleuca |Oplismenus aemulus |Pandorea pandorana | |__________________________________________________________________| |Platylobium formosum|Platysace lanceolata |Plectranthus | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| (2F) Eucalyptus cypellocarpa-E. piperita Tall Open-forest Eucalyptus cypellocarpa-E. piperita Tall Open-forest is characterised by the presence of (Monkey Gum), occurring in association with one or more of (Sydney Peppermint), (Blue Mountain Ash) and subsp. (Narrow-leaved Peppermint). The community is found in moist, sheltered sites on the talus slopes below the sandstone escarpments of the western Blue Mountains (Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys). The community also occurs in some moist, sheltered sites away from the escarpments, and may occur as far east as Woodford. The typical vegetation structure is tall open- forest, although this may vary depending on site conditions and history. It is a wet sclerophyll forest, with soft-leaved plants prominent in the understorey. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Eucalyptus cypellocarpa and E. piperita along with the following assemblage of native plant species.

A range of other Eucalypts may also occur, most commonly including, (Sydney Peppermint), (Monkey Gum) and subsp. (Narrow-leaved Peppermint). The characteristic vegetation structure is tall open-forest, however this can vary depending on site conditions and history. In some places the understorey is shrubby, while in moister sites a ferny understorey can be present. Although typically found in gullies or on sheltered slopes in the upper mountains (Bell to Wentworth Falls), this community also occurs in relatively exposed sites eg ridgetops, where suitable depth of shale provides more fertile conditions and better soil moisture. Eucalyptus oreades is extremely fire-sensitive, with individual trees readily killed in a major bushfire. Although the capacity of E. oreades to regenerate from seed after fire is indicated by even-aged stands of trees often found in this community, the species will be adversely affected or eliminated entirely by an inappropriate fire regime of frequent burning. This community is relatively rare outside of the National Park estate and has apparently suffered significant loss due to urbanisation and associated infrastructure, as well as being degraded by weed invasion, changed fire regimes, and stormwater runoff. Eucalyptus oreades open-forest/tall open-forest is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |Amperea xiphoclada |Arrhenechthites mixta|Austrodanthonia | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Cassytha glabella |Conospermum |Dampiera stricta | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus radiata |Eucalyptus sieberi |Goodenia bellidifolia| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Hovea linearis |Leptomeria acida |Leptospermum | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| (2H) Eucalyptus dalrympleana-E. piperita Tall Open-forest Eucalyptus dalrympleana-E. piperita Tall Open-forest is characterised by the presence of (Mountain Gum), occurring in association with (Sydney Peppermint) and subsp. (Narrow-leaved Peppermint). In the City, this community appears to be restricted to one small stand at the upper end of Popes Glen Creek, Blackheath, where it occurs on a sheltered, south-facing slope of Narrabeen Group geology. The vegetation structure is variable within this disturbed stand, from tall open- forest to open-forest and woodland. It is a wet sclerophyll forest, with soft-leaved plants prominent in the understorey.

This community is dominated by (Cabbage Gum) that occurs on the diatreme at Sun Valley. An associated tree species is (Thin-leaved Stringybark). Although there is still good tree cover in the area (remnant trees and regeneration), the understorey of this community has been grossly altered through clearing and grazing. Remaining native understorey species include,, and, but the original composition of the understorey is difficult to assess. Attempts to restore this community at Sun Valley are certainly warranted. Eucalyptus amplifolia Tall Open-forest is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the community at Sun Valley. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Doodia aspera |Echinopogon |Entolasia marginata | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (2J) Montane Gully Forest (Eucalyptus fastigata-E. cypellocarpa- E. dalrympleana) This community is associated with moderate to steep slopes and narrow gorges on the Narrabeen Group and Illawarra Coal Measures below the escarpments around Mount York and north to Bell. There is substantial intergradation with vegetation typical of the sandstone plateau close to the escarpments and with the Eucalyptus cypellocarpa and E. piperita communities between Blackheath and Mount Victoria. The boundary of this community approximates the lower distribution of E. fastigata, E. dalrympleana and E. blaxlandii, and the upper distributional limits of Angophora costata and Syncarpia glomulifera.

This community is usually restricted to terraces of deep alluvium along larger watercourses of the lower Blue Mountains. (Mountain Blue Gum) is dominant and may be almost monospecific, with occasional Angophora floribunda (Rough-barked Apple) and a small tree layer which may contain large bipinnate wattles and infrequent Allocasuarina torulosa (She-oak). The understorey is open and often dominated by grasses or ferns (or both) with scattered mesic shrubs becoming denser in the immediate vicinity of the watercourse. This community superficially resembles the Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest but the two occur in different positions in the landscape. This community is generally characterised by the almost monospecific occurrence of Eucalyptus deanei along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |Allocasuarina |Angophora floribunda |Backhousia myrtifolia | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Geitonoplesium |Glycine tabacina |Imperata cylindrica | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Melia azedarach |Oplismenus sp. |Plectranthus | |___________________________________________________________________| |Pratia purpurascens |Pseuderanthemum |Pteridium esculentum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (2L) Casuarina cunninghamiana ‘River Oak Forest’ The Casuarina cunninghamiana River Oak Forest in the Blue Mountains is included within the Sydney Coastal River-Flat Forest listed as an Endangered Ecological Community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Narrow bands of River Oak Forest occur on the alluvial banks of the Coxs River. This community also occurs in small, unmapped occurrences along the Hawkesbury-Nepean River. The dominant canopy species is subsp. (River Oak) with occasional subdominants being (Rough-barked Apple) (Ribbon Gum) and (Forest Red Gum), and rarely (Broad-leaved Apple). (Myrtle) can also occur on the sheltered fringes of this community. Along the larger tributaries to the east of the Coxs River, the understorey is often dominated by spp.. In these situations, and several sedges can dominate the ground layer. The understorey is generally sparse because of the mobile nature of the substrate (mobile gravels, sands and large areas of bare granite). The surrounding lands have often been cleared for agriculture and these communities are often highly prone to willow and other weed infestation. Casuarina cunninghamiana River Oak Forest is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species.

It is restricted to small alluvial/colluvial deltas perpendicular to the escarpment or to alluvial deposits along ephemeral watercourses running parallel to the escarpment. It is a generally moist forest in which Melaleuca species are dominant and occur under an open canopy of tall (Monkey Gum) or less often, (Ribbon Gum), with (Mountain Blue Gum) most common east of Narrow Neck Peninsula. Other emergents can include (Narrow-leafed Ironbark) and (Grey Gum). The understorey is generally depauperate because of shading from the often-dense strata of.

Some intergradation of these communities occurs and the outer margin of the Shoalhaven Group supports a community often dominated by Eucalyptus sclerophylla (Hard-leafed Scribbly Gum). Several variants of the forest form are recognised, with structure ranging from open-forest/woodland to open-forest and canopy species including (Thin-leafed Stringybark), (White Stringybark) (and hybrids), (Grey Ironbark), (Hard-leafed Scribbly Gum) and (Sydney Red Gum). At the interface with the adjoining forests that dominate the slopes below the cliffline, a taller variant occurs in which (Monkey Gum) may be present. Such situations can be associated with the existence of swamp forest. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of the following assemblage of native plant species.

Fragmented remnants are found in the Coxs River valley at elevations between 250 metres and 850 metres on deep, well-drained sandy soils derived from carboniferous adamellite, granite and grandiorote. Much of the vegetation is now a “derived” woodland (sensu Keith and Benson, 1988) but was probably forest prior to modification by clearing, grazing, rabbits and an altered fire regime. The most characteristic tree species are (Forest Red Gum) and (Thin- leaved stringybark) together with (Ribbon Gum). subsp. (Mountain Gum) can be locally dominant, particularly on the higher elevations (which are often quite exposed). E. bridgesiana, E. dives, E. rubida and E. camphora are generally rare within this community and are not considered characteristic of it, however (Rough-barked Apple) is quite common and extends well beyond the lower slopes and watercourses. subsp. occurs mainly in the western areas of the granite vegetation but is occasionally a significant canopy component. can also be a locally significant canopy species and can be present in most variants of the granite communities. The less common eucalypts are generally associated with the complex ecotones on the eastern edges of the granite vegetation or with other very localised conditions. The understorey of the Megalong Granite Forest/Woodland tends to be low and dominated by grasses, graminoids (particularly) and herbs, in particular,. Climbers such as, and are often present. Shrubs are either relatively rare or else the shrub layer consists of a small number of common unpalatable species such as species and. The understorey composition can vary greatly depending on the amount of exposure. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the major diagnostic species. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Ajuga australia |Angophora floribunda |Asplenium | |___________________________________________________________________| | | |Brachycome | |Austrostipa pubescens|Blechnum cartilagineum|angustifolia var. | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Doodia aspera |Echinopogon |Echinopogon ovatus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus camphora |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus dives | |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus punctata | |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus rubida |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus viminalis | |___________________________________________________________________| |Exocarpos |Exocarpus strictus |Galium propinquum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Geitonoplesium |Geranium homeanum |Geranium retrorsum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Gnaphalium sp. |Gonocarpus tetragynus |Helichrysum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Hydrocotyle |Hypericum gramineum |Imperata cylindrica | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Plantago gaudichaudii|Plectranthus |Poa labillardieri | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Schoenus apogon |Senecio lautus ssp. |Senecio minimus | |___________________________________________________________________| |Sigesbeckia |Solanum cinereum |Stackhousia viminea | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| 3 Low Open-forest Melaleuca linariifolia Low Open-forest Melaleuca linariifolia Low Open-forest is found on sandy alluvial soils along certain creeks in the lower Blue Mountains, in which the low paperbark tree, (Snow-in- summer), dominates the vegetation. This creekline vegetation is associated with creeks on deep alluvial sand deposits, rather than the sandstone substrates more typical of Blue Mountains creeks. The typical vegetation structure is a narrow band of low open-forest or low closed-forest along the creek. Occasional emergent Eucalyptus or Angophora trees may be present above the Melaleuca canopy. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Melaleuca linariifolia along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Hydrocotyle |Hypolepis muelleri |Imperata cylindrica | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Juncus usitatus |Kennedia rubicunda |Leptospermum | |__________________________________________________________________| |Melaleuca |Microlaena stipoides |Pittosporum undulatum | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| 4 Woodlands (4A) Eucalyptus mannifera subsp. gullickii Alluvial Woodlands These woodlands are found on alluvial soils along certain creeks in the upper Blue Mountains, in which subsp. (Brittle Gum) is the dominant tree species or co-dominant with subsp. (Narrow-leaved Peppermint). The association of the community with creekside alluvium is a critical feature in its definition, since E. mannifera subsp. gullickii and E. radiata subsp. radiata may also be common species in other communities in the upper Blue Mountains. The vegetation structure is woodland or open-forest. E. mannifera subsp. gullickii occurs in some sites as a sparse tree layer (an open-woodland) over swamp vegetation, but such stands are better classified within the Blue Mountains swamp communities rather than as E. mannifera subsp. gullickii Alluvial Woodland. Two forms of Eucalyptus mannifera subsp. gullickii Alluvial Woodland may be distinguished. At higher altitudes (Mount Victoria- Blackheath), E. mannifera subsp. gullickii is the main tree species and the community is termed E. mannifera subsp. gullickii woodland. At slightly lower altitudes (Katoomba-Leura), E. mannifera subsp. gullickii and E. radiata subsp. radiata are co-dominant and the community is termed E. mannifera subsp. gullickii - E. radiata subsp. radiata Woodland. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Eucalyptus mannifera subsp. gullickii along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Epacris spp. |Eucalyptus blaxlandii |Eucalyptus mannifera | |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus radiata |Gahnia sieberiana |Gleichenia dicarpa | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Helichrysum |Hibbertia |Lepidosperma laterale| |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Leptospermum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Lepyrodia scariosa | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Microlaena stipoides |Mirbelia |Olearia erubescens | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (4B) Eucalyptus sclerophylla Bench Woodland Eucalyptus sclerophylla Bench Woodlands occur on dry sandy alluvial benches along certain creek systems in the lower Blue Mountains. This community may also occur on higher benches on a mix of alluvial and colluvial soils. (Hard-leaved Scribbly Gum) is the dominant tree species sometimes co- dominant with (Narrow-leaved Apple). The typical vegetation structure is woodland, although this may vary depending on site conditions and history. The association between this community and alluvial or colluvial soils is a critical feature in its definition, since E. sclerophylla is also the dominant tree species in another, more common vegetation community, with a different understorey, that occurs on northern and western aspects on sandstone geology in the middle and upper Blue Mountains. The E. sclerophylla trees in the latter community tend to be smaller than those in the E. sclerophylla Bench Woodland. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of Eucalyptus sclerophylla along with the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Caustis flexuosa |Conospermum |Corymbia eximia | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus piperita |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus sparsifolia| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Isopogon |Lambertia formosa |Lepidosperma laterale | |__________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Leptospermum | |__________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Lepyrodia scariosa |Lomandra brevis | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Platysace |Pteridium esculentum |Ptilothrix deusta | |__________________________________________________________________| |Schoenus villosus |Stipa pubescens |Stylidium | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| (4C) Kowmung Wilderness Complex This Complex includes open-forest, open-forest/woodland and woodland communities. It has been included in the Woodland section because most of the vegetation is of a woodland structure. Most of this Complex occurs in Kanangra-Boyd National Park with some areas in Blue Mountains National Park. A relatively small area occurs outside these reserves in the far south of the Megalong Valley. Small areas of dry rainforest and riparian complex are present within the Kowmung Wilderness Complex. Indicative canopy species include (Narrow-leafed Ironbark), (Forest Red Gum), (Grey Gum), (Ribbon Gum), (Yellow Box), (Thin-leafed Stringybark) and (Sydney Red Gum). The understorey can be very open and grassy/herbaceous or can sometimes have a relatively well developed shrub layer in which species can be prevalent. Small twiners and species (Poison Rock Ferns) can be characteristic of the ground stratum as can numerous species and other daisies. This community is generally characterised by the occurrence of the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition. ___________________________________________________________________ |Acacia clunies- |Acacia falciformis |Acacia implexa | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Clematis aristata |Clerodendrum |Commelina cyanea | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus fibrosa |Eucalyptus punctata |Eucalyptus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Gnaphalium |Gonocarpus teucrioides|Goodenia hederacea | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Persoonia linearis |Plantago debilis |Plectranthus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Senecio |Sigesbeckia orientalis|Solanum cinereum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (4D) Redgum Swamp Woodland (Eucalyptus tereticornis) This community is dominated by (Forest Redgum) and is known only from a small example between Megalong Creek and Nellies Glen Road in the central eastern Megalong Valley. This site is associated with a swamp ephemeral drainage line that generally defines the ecotone between the vegetation on the lower Shoalhaven Group of sediments and that on the Carboniferous Granite, which dominates the Megalong Valley. Adjoining communities include an example of Coxs River Swamp, the so- called Megalong Forest of Keith and Benson (1988) and the Megalong Granite Forest and woodland. The understorey has been modified by grazing and was probably cleared in the past to facilitate this use. The understorey has been modified by grazing and was probably cleared in the past to facilitate this use. species are dominant along the drainage line and in the more swampy sections which lack open water. Drier areas are dominated by grasses with little or no shrub layer and a relatively sparse tree canopy. This community is threatened by small size, grazing, weed invasion, rabbits and recreational vehicle use. Redgum swamp woodland is broadly characterised by the following assemblage of diagnostic plant species. Other species may also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community. ________________________________________________________________ |Acacia floribunda |Agrostis avenaceus |Callistemon sp. nov. | |________________________________________________________________| |________________________________________________________________| |Dichondra repens |Eucalyptus |Grevillea acanthifolia| |________________________________________________________________| |________________________________________________________________| |Juncus usitatus |Leptospermum |Leptospermum obovatum | |________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Lomandra longifolia|Melaleuca linariifolia| |________________________________________________________________| |________________________________________________________________| |________________________________________________________________| 5 Heath/scrub/sedgeland/fernland (5A) Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub consists of a well-developed shrub layer, with no tree layer or only a sparse layer of scattered low trees, sometimes with a mallee habit (low, multi-stemmed shrub eucalypts). It occurs primarily in exposed sites with very shallow soils on Narrabeen Group and Hawkesbury Sandstone geology. Typical situations are cliff tops and high, rocky ridges, especially on the westerly aspect and with skeletal soils. The vegetation structure is typically an open-heath, less often a closed-heath, and may be interspersed with patches of open-scrub or closed-scrub formed by stands of mallees or species. It is also typically interspersed with areas of bare rock. It can occur on the fringes of or within so-called hanging swamps and in such situations it can also intergrade with vegetation of the Riparian Complex. There is also considerable intergradation between forms of woodland to open-woodland with a canopy with Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub forming the understorey in such communities. Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub has a mixed and variable species composition. Common shrub species include,,,,,,,, and. Common herb and sedge species include,,,,, and. Two forms of Blue Mountains heath have been distinguished (Keith and Benson 1988, Smith and Smith 1995 a–e): montane heath above about 850–900 metres elevation and lower Blue Mountains heath below this level. The two forms intergrade between Wentworth Falls and Katoomba. Montane heath is characterised by the presence of high altitude species such as, and, while lower Blue Mountains heath is characterised by the presence of low altitude species such as, and. However, most of the more common heath plants occur across the full altitudinal range. It is also possible to distinguish two forms of lower Blue Mountains heath: a Hawkesbury Sandstone form at lower altitudes (chiefly in the Faulconbridge to Woodford area), and a Narrabeen Sandstone form at intermediate altitudes (Hazelbrook to Wentworth Falls). The Hawkesbury Sandstone form is characterised by species such as, and that are absent from heath on Narrabeen Sandstone. In the prolonged absence of fires, the heath shrubs grow taller and thicker, transforming the vegetation from an open-heath to a closed- scrub, especially in relatively moist and sheltered sites. These communities may be floristically similar to the closed-heaths described above but are structurally unique. Shrubs including,,,, and a range of species may all attain heights of up to 8 metres over a generally grassy, herbaceous understorey. In locally moist areas, the fern may become common in the ground stratum. In the Megalong Valley, forms of heath occur which are floristically and geologically distinct from those others within the scope of the Blue Mountains Heath description. The majority of Megalong Valley Heath is associated with the Shoalhaven Group of sediments with a rare exception associated with the Carboniferous Granite. Dominant species of the heath include,,,,, and while the locally uncommon shrub may also be present. Only one example is known of heath occurring on granite within the Megalong Valley, however other examples are likely to occur outside the City, west of the Coxs River. This example is dominated by a relatively low-growing shrubby Acacia which has not been able to be identified but is apparently related to Acacia floribunda. Considered as a whole, Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of heath, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus apiculata |Eucalyptus burgessiana|Eucalyptus | |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus ligustrina |Eucalyptus mannifera | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus stricta |Gahnia aspera | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Helichrysum |Hemigenia purpurea |Hypericum gramineum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Isopogon |Kunzea capitata |Lambertia formosa | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Lepidosperma viscidum|Leptocarpus tenax |Leptospermum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Leptospermum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum petraeum|Leptospermum |Leptospermum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Lepyrodia scariosa |Leucopogon esquamatus |Leucopogon | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Platysace lanceolata |Platysace linearifolia|Pseudanthus | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Thelionema |Themeda australis |Tricoryne elatior | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (5B) Blue Mountains Swamps A range of swamps occurs within the City. Swamp vegetation develops on poorly drained sites where the soil is waterlogged for prolonged periods. Several variants are recognised and are described below. In the City, swamps occur, not only in low-lying sites on valley floors (‘valley swamps’), but also in the headwaters of creeks and on steep hillsides (‘hanging swamps’). Some swamps represent a combination of valley swamp and hanging swamp. The upper boundary of the swamp is often clearly defined by the outcropping of a layer of claystone. Groundwater seeps along the top of the impermeable claystone layer, reaching the surface where the claystone protrudes, thus forming a swamp on the hillside below. Other swamps receive their water supply from feeder streams rather than groundwater, or from a combination of the two. Blue Mountains Swamps vary greatly in their structure and plant species composition, ranging from closed-sedgeland or closed-fernland to open-heath or closed-heath, sometimes open-scrub or closed-scrub. The shrub-dominated swamps are similar in vegetation structure to some of the forms of Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub, but they differ in species composition and ecological function, and are more appropriately classified with the sedge and fern-dominated swamps. However, in many instances the botanical boundary between Blue Mountains Swamp and Blue Mountains Heath and Scrub communities is unclear or can only be defined at a small scale as the two vegetation types can intergrade extensively. Common shrubs in the Blue Mountains Swamps that occur on the sandstone plateaux include,,,,,,,, and. Common sedges include,, and. The main fern species is. The swamps of the plateaux include communities described by Keith and Benson (1988) and Benson and Keith (1990) as Blue Mountains Sedge Swamps and Newnes Plateau Shrub Swamps. The Kurrajong Fault Swamps are valley swamps that occur in the lower Blue Mountains on sandy alluvial deposits associated with the Kurrajong Fault. Common shrubs are,,, and. Common species in the understorey are,, and. The Coxs River Swamps are another variant encompassed by this community. These swamps occur on the clayey organic sediments derived from the Illawarra Coal Measures where creeks drain at the base of the escarpment. They support a simple flora dominated by, and with a dense ground cover of and species. The Megalong Swamps occur under much the same circumstances as the Coxs River Swamps but differ considerably in both structure and floristics. The Coxs River Swamps tend to occur as scrub, open-scrub and low open-scrub to wet heath with a prominent sedge layer, while the Megalong Swamps are closed to tall closed-scrub dominated by and with an undescribed shrub Melaleuca sp. Megalong Valley, and infrequent emergents of and. Blue Mountains Swamps are characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every swamp, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. ___________________________________________________________________ |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Blandfordia |Blechnum cartilagineum|Blechnum nudum | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus mannifera |Eucalyptus moorei |Gahnia clarkei | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Gymnoschoenus |Hakea dactyloides |Hakea teretifolia | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Lepidosperma limicola|Leptocarpus tenax |Leptospermum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Leptospermum obovatum | |___________________________________________________________________| |Leptospermum |Leptospermum |Lepyrodia scariosa | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |Melaleuca sp. |Mirbelia rubiifolia |Notochloe microdon | |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| |___________________________________________________________________| (5C) Pagoda Rock Complex Within the City, this community occurs only in the far northwest near Bell. It occurs primarily outside the City on the Newnes Plateau where it is exemplified in Gardens of Stone National Park. Benson and Keith (1990) list three structural divisions within this Complex: open-heath of,,, and; open-mallee scrub of which is not known from the City of Blue Mountains; and woodland of (Silvertop Ash), (Sydney Peppermint) and (Sandstone Stringybark). This mosaic of communities intergrades with the higher altitude variant of Blue Mountains Heath. The following species typically occur within this complex. Other species may also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community. _________________________________________________________________ |_________________________________________________________________| |_________________________________________________________________| |_________________________________________________________________| |Eucalyptus |Eucalyptus sieberi |Eucalyptus sparsifolia| |_________________________________________________________________| |Hakea dactyloides |Lepidosperma viscidum|Leptospermum | |_________________________________________________________________| |_________________________________________________________________| (5D) Lagoon Vegetation (Glenbrook Lagoon) Lagoon Vegetation (Glenbrook Lagoon) is the wetland vegetation associated with Glenbrook Lagoon. This waterbody is the only naturally occurring upland lagoon in the City, although wetland vegetation has also developed around artificially created water bodies such as Wentworth Falls Lake and Woodford Lake. Glenbrook Lagoon consists of an area of open water with submerged aquatic vegetation, surrounded by extensive reedbeds dominated by the large sedges and. Fringing the reedbeds is a narrow band of low paperbark trees. Native wetland plants recorded at Glenbrook Lagoon include the following species. Other species are also likely to be present. __________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Cynodon dactylon |Eleocharis sphacelata |Epilobium | |__________________________________________________________________| |Gratiola pedunculata|Gratiola peruviana |Hydrocotyle | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Lepidosperma |Lepironia articulata |Leptospermum | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |Myriophyllum |Nymphoides geminata |Paspalum distichum | |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________| 6 Blue Mountains Riparian complex Blue Mountains Riparian Complex refers to the narrow bands of vegetation found along perennial and non-perennial watercourses in the Blue Mountains. It applies to those sections of the creek where there are distinct differences between the creekside vegetation and the adjacent vegetation further from the creek. Riparian (creekline) vegetation can be diverse and variable in structure and composition. It typically consists of species that are restricted to the immediate creekside environment plus other species from the adjacent vegetation communities. Common shrubs and low trees characteristic of riparian vegetation in the Blue Mountains include,,,,,,, and. Ferns tend to be a major component of the riparian vegetation, and include,,, and. Common sedges and rushes include, and. Pockets of rainforest, swamp and moist cliffline (waterfall) vegetation are often present along the creeks and add to the floristic diversity of the riparian vegetation. Blue Mountains Riparian Complex is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present along every creek, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. The list does not include Eucalyptus species. Although a variety of eucalypts may occur along the creeks, they generally reflect the composition of the adjacent vegetation community rather than the riparian vegetation itself. __________________________________________________________________________ |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| |__________________________________________________________________________| 7 Blue Mountains Escarpment Complex Blue Mountains Escarpment Complex refers to the distinctive vegetation communities associated with moist, sheltered rock faces, the escarpments and other extensive outcroppings of sandstones in the Blue Mountains. The habitat of this vegetation varies from rock crevices, ledges, caves and the talus at cliff bases through to isolated rock outcrops. The vegetation consists of a diverse mixture of moist cliffline vegetation, heath, swamp, rainforest, mallee and forest communities that can vary on a very small scale. Species found in the moist sites include,,,,,,,,,,, and. Where a tree canopy is present, it can contain elements of various communities but (Blue Mountain Ash) is by far the most common. (Sydney Peppermint), (Silvertop Ash) and a range of mallees, particularly the common (Mallee Ash), can also be locally prevalent. Blue Mountains Escarpment Complex is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation. _____________________________________________________________________________ |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| |_____________________________________________________________________________| 8 References Benson, D.H. and Keith, D.A.
